Chapter 4

Sister Lan was once again surprised.

One had to know that a Scaled Draconic Beast possessed extremely tough muscles.

Not to mention its scales, which a normal person would be unable to break.

"Are you kidding me? This Scaled Draconic Beast is worth over a hundred gold liangs, how do you plan to repay us if you end up ruining it?"

Dong Zi quickly antagonized Lin Ming; he was displeased due to him taking away his knife.

Even so, no discussion was able to develop.

The beautiful woman took one look at Dong Zi and snapped, "If I let you ruin it, do you think you have what it takes to do it?"

Dong Zi opened and closed his mouth like a fish, speechless.

What could he do?

Trying to disagree with her would be the same as asking her to fire him.

Sister Lan turned to Lin Ming and said," I'll let you cut!"

Li Ming smiled, "You won't regret it. However, this knife won't be enough."

The beautiful woman nodded in understanding at Lin Ming's words.

After all, what Lin Ming was going to bone was a level two ferocious beast.

"Dong Zi, bring him the best one we have!" She ordered.

With a sad expression, Dong Zi went to get the knife.

During this period of time, Lin Ming mentally prepared himself for this task of which he lacked sufficient experience.

The original Lin Ming only got to bone two Scaled Draconic Beasts on the birthday of some important figures of the Lin clan in Mulberry City.

It was to be expected, ferocious beasts did not come cheap, and to some extent, it was already surprising that his clan could afford it.

Little time passed by the time Dong Zi brought the knife, reluctantly handing it to Lin Ming.

"Thank you," Lin Min thanked him, ignoring Dong Zi's even more annoyed expression.

Temporarily, Lin Ming left the boning knife in an area near him and focused his gaze on the ferocious beast.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Ming carefully stroked the Scales of the Scaled Draconic Beast, feeling the whereabouts of its veins.

Normally Lin Ming would take around 30 minutes on this quest, but thanks to the passive skill, Parallel Thinking, 10 minutes was enough!

Next, he checked the diagram of the veins he make in his head, checking that everything was in place to start.

Then, he picked up the knife, and in his eyes shone a light of extreme concentration.

To him, although this deboning process was the equivalent of a practice session, the implications were not, so Lin Ming took it with due seriousness.

In his hands, this ordinary knife became an exceptionally sharp weapon.

Shua!

The knife descended and the scales of the Scaled Dragon Beast were sliced off.

This feat alone would have required a wrist strength of at least three hundred jin (181.4 kg).

The knife-edge moved across the gap in the veins, cutting it smoothly as if cutting paper until Scaled Draconic Beast's white muscles were revealed.

Looking at how easily Lin Ming was cutting, Dong Zi rubbed his eyes.

"Hey, am I hallucinating?"

Dong Zi asked a colleague in an attempt to understand what was going on.

It was evening and there were many employees with time to watch the show. So it was not difficult for Dong Zi to find someone to talk to.

This companion shook his head, ".... No, you're not."

Dong Zi already presupposed this, but he found it hard to accept that a child would have such abilities that were comparable to a master meat dresser... No, even better!

Lin Ming moved gracefully.

Every now and then, inevitable sinews would interrupt his work. When that happened, he would use brute strength to pull it out.

Thus, Lin Ming ended up taking less than twenty minutes to cut the Scaled Draconic Beast to pieces.

A possible result due to the passive ability and his magnificent capabilities.

"I finished."

Lin Ming smiled in satisfaction and looked to sister Lan.

Behind him next to the pieces of meat, rows of ribs were placed in order; these were the most valuable part of the Scaled Draconic Beast.

The lengths of these ribs were all consistent, showing almost no loss during the work.

In the kitchen, everyone kept silent, including Sister Lan.

The feat done by Lin Ming was like five strong men working for about half a day, and judging by his appearance, Lin Ming could go a few more rounds!

Only a martial artist would be capable of something similar, but existences like that would never want a boning job; they would consider it an affront to their identity.

Even if they were willing, someone who does not understand how the muscles, bone, and tendons come together would not be able to do it.

Using pure strength alone in the cutting-up process would cause it to lose its delicious taste.

Amidst the silence and without receiving an answer, Lin Ming spoke, "Can I work here now? My working hours should not exceed two long hours (4 hours) and my requested monthly salary is five gold liangs."

After stretching a little, he added, "Oh, and one more thing. You must provide me with food and lodging."

Lin Ming simply repeated the words he read not long ago in the novel.

The beautiful woman regain her composure and reflected for a moment before saying, "Agreed!"

Lin Ming's conditions were not low; however, it was worth it.

Judging from the speed Lin Ming had shown earlier, a lot could be done in two long hours.

More importantly, his work was efficient and caused very little loss of key ingredients.

Therefore, Lin Ming started working for Grand Clarity Pavilion.

Not only that, he could still use this work to train his accuracy.

Two birds with one stone!
